Title: Separation of materials from recycled electrochemical cells and batteries by froth flotation
Inventor: ELLIS TIMOTHY W
IPC: H01M6/52
Filed: 2011-05-06
Granted: 2014-04-10
Abstract: Materials in battery and electrochemical cells are separated in a form suitable for recycling by employing froth flotation techniques. Bulk materials, such as casings, are removed from converted battery scrap and the resultant pulp is subjected to froth flotation. Froth flotation agents, including frothers, collectors and/or depressants, are used to manipulate the hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature of the materials in the scrap. Hydrophobic materials are entrained in the air bubbles of the froth and float out of the froth flotation vessel while those that are hydrophilic remain in the vessel, thereby separating battery grid materials without resort to pyrometallurgical, energy intensive or other environmentally undesirable processes.

Title: Laser probe with an electrically steerable light beam
Inventor: AULD JACK ROBERT
IPC: G02F1/03
Filed: 2012-06-21
Granted: 2015-07-02
Abstract: Laser probes have one or more optical fibers that emit light beams. Laser probes typically use mechanical approaches to steer the emitted light beams. For example, an optical fiber may be placed in a tube that can be bent or straightened to emit a light beam in a particular direction. As another example, prisms rotated by motors may steer light beams passing through the prisms. As yet another example, a laser probe may have different optical fibers that direct a light beam in different directions, and a light beam is focused onto a particular fiber to direct the beam in a particular direction. Known laser probes, however, may not be able to steer emitted light beams in a satisfactory manner in certain situations.

Abstract: Capacitors (5a, 5b) are provided inside of the insulator of bushings (4a, 4b), one end of the capacitors (5a, 5b) connected to the side of a central conductor (3a, 3b) and the other to the side of a tank (1), which is a ground. When a discharge signal from outside of the tank (1) is transmitted to the capacitors (5a, 5b) via a central conductor (3a, 3b), the capacitors (5a, 5b) act as a filter attenuating the signal in the frequency band of the discharge waveform and preventing said signal from reaching inside of the tank (1). If the antenna (7) arranged inside of the tank (1) receives a signal in the frequency bandwidth of the discharge waveform, it is determined that a discharge has been detected in the tank by a discharge detection unit (20).
